Loyal reader Avi Solomon points us to an old Ask Metafilter thread wherein Metafilterites discuss single experiences that have changed their lives.

The thread is full of interesting life-altering experiences and is a good read if you've got some time. So with a new year upon us and lots of resolutions being made, of course I'm wondering: What life-altering experiences do lifehackers have (lifehacker-altering experiences?)? Let us know in the comments or send an email to tips at lifehacker.com.
